Billy Powell's Downfall.

William Powell, the well known butcher, has come to grief. Billy was in by the police Wednesday and is now serving a ten day's sentence in jail for drunkenness. When bis time expires, he will be rearrested, a«d asked to answer to the charge of stealing hides A couple of weeks ago, Kramer & Sons missed a couple of hides from their slaughter house. A few days later, James Israel suffered a similar loss and last week Will Kramer found a couple of sheep peltB gone. Suspicion at one# fell upon Powell, who had worked at different times for' all three firms, aad the matter was placed in the hands of the police. They were not long in finding where Powell had disposed of the hides to B. L. Ornbaun and the pelts to Joseph Goldsberg. Powell was at one timeona of the moBt prosperous butchers in the city. He was honest and industrious and possessed but one fault, that of strong drink. His inability to master the habit proved his ruin and has finally brought disgrace upon himself and family. Nothing but pity is expressed for him and the hope that he may be able to extricate himself from his present trouble.

Rev. A. B. CJunnineham'B Call. It has been announced that Rev. A. B. Cunningham, pastor ofi the Christian church in Washington, Davies county, will likely be called to the charge in this city. Rev. Cunningham is well known to the proprietors of the Times office who will be pleased if he should receive charge of this congregation, and we can assure the members here thut to select him would add much to the church. In the past the Rev. gentleman was noted for his hustling qualifications and we have no reason to believe he has lost them.—Brazil Times.

HIS BRAINS OOZED OUT.

Oharles Osborn, A Big Four Brakeman Receives .Fatal Injuries.

CharleB Osborn, a brakeman on the Big Four railroad, was struck by a passenger train near Brownsburg about 12 o'clock Tuesday night and was fatally injured. Osborn was breaking on a freight train and when they reached Brownsburg they found orders to run in on the siding to let the west bound pas senger pass. The switch was not longenough to admit .the entire train and Osborn was sent ahead to flag the passenger. Just how it happened wilt probably never be known, but the engineer of the passenger train said that when he rounded the curve he seen the sleeping figure of the brakeman lying: about half on the track. The distancewas to short to stop his train before theman was struck. His remains were picked up and put in tho baggage car and brought to this city. His skull was crushed like an egg Bhell and the brains were oozing out, his right arm was broken, and a long gash was cut om the left side of the face. His body w&s taken to the undertaking establishment of McCiure & Scott, a most uncanny place under such circumstances,. and Dr. EnBtninger summoned. He Tay fa, convulsions for several hours* during which time it required theetrength o£ three men to hold him on tho cot. In the eyening he was removed to a hoose on soutli Green street, next to a tombstone shop, where he yet remains. Ho has never regained consciousness and his death is but a question of a few hours. The unfortunate man is but 25 years of age. He is married and has one child and his home''is in Urbana, III.

Osborn was just recovering from injuries received in a collision at VeedU ersburg a couple of weeks ago and this was his first trip out.

An Awful Suicide.

Weary with life, aillicted and almost helpless, tired of brooding over a hopeless future, Isaac Wall, of Clark's Hill, laBt Friday forenoon, ended his earthly career in a horrible manner.

Wall walked down the railway track-, and as the pasrenger train on the Clover Leaf Road swept by, the engineer was horrified to see Wall deliberately throw himself under the locomotive. There was no time to stop the train before the life was crushed out of tho unfortunate man. The body was whirled about in a frightful manner, the left arm was severed near the elbow, the le»r broken at the ankle, the right shoulder anil hip were crushed, the back was broken near the shoulder, his skull torn off and hiB bcuiaa scattered cn the track. Wall was a sufferer front paralysis he was unable to feed himself, or wait upon himself, and all his efforts to obtain medicinal benefit had been unavailing. He had spent considerable money in his endeavors to secure health, and weary with the hopeless battle, he concluded to end his troubles. He was met on the way to the railway by a lady acquaintance, who asked him where he waB going. He frankly responded that he was going to the railroad, and throw himself under an engine, but the speech was supposed to have been made in a jesting way. Wall was about 50 years of age, and leaves a family.—Lafayette Leader. ......
